There, for a S3 cover charge, teenagers could dance to the likes of Sylviais Your Nobody Called Today, Billy Squire's Everybody Wants You, and Michael lack- son's Beat It. Manager Al Cook explained in an article for the Arkansas Gazette that the disc jockey plays an amalgam of three styles of music - country-western, rock, and disco. He relies on dancer participation to determine selec- tions. Another advantage, at least for the girls, was that they can ask the guys to dance without being criticized. Non-alcoholic speciality drinks were the only beverages served to the 800 or so customers each Friday and Saturday night who DANCE FEVER - Juniors Mona Price and David Bevans try'to find a table near the dance floor.

Senior julie Glaze was a regular customer who described the setup as a full night of entertainment that could be enjoyed with friends. They play good dance music, and it gives you a chance to jam, she said. You get to meet people from other schools, she added. lt's a night club atmosphere without the alcoholic beverages. While the spot was tremen- dously popular, it did have its critics, and senior Beth Brady was among them. I went one time, and I hated it, she said. lt's too crowded, and it's too much money when you can't even get on the dance floor. - By Libbi Dixon juniors, Charlie Gooclnight'sf157
